Where AO did not carry out further examination and analysis in order to establish nexus between information emanated from investigation wing and formation of belief that income had escaped assessment, then in absence therefor, assumption of jurisdiction under section 147 had no legal basis and resultant reassessment proceedings were set aside. Further, in the light of evidences furnished by assessee which remained undisputed, addition could not be sustained even on merits.
